Sorry friend. Internet anxietys aside, its time to dump that puppy.
No need to fear the internet on DSL. As long as you:
A) Have anti-virus software running and up to date
B) Turn the Windows Update Service on automatic
C) Don't download 'free' software from Russian porn sites
You think that because you are on a dial up you are somehow safer? Wrong. That Windows 98 box had more holes than swiss cheese.
I would not normally recommend this, but if you are not the most tech savy person around, you may want to look at purchasing through Best Buy and getting their replacement guarentee. Yes, they charge a bit, but if something goes to crap on you, you can have it repaired.
Also, if you don't plan on doing your own service, it would probably be a good idea to stick with know brands so that parts will be available. Dell, HP, Compaq.....
DSL is well worth it, but that is coming from a person who is on the internet 16 hours a day.
Have questions? Plenty of support available on your handy Pelican Parts BBS
